Apparatus and Amendment of Wind Turbine Blade Impact Detection and Analysis

2. The first apparatus of claim 1, wherein the second circuitry is to determine when the blade likely struck the object.

3. The first apparatus of claim 1, wherein the second circuitry is to save a portion of the data stream that indicates when the blade likely struck the object.

4. The first apparatus of claim 3, wherein the second circuitry is to discard another portion of the data stream that does not indicate when the blade likely struck the object.

5. The first apparatus of claim 1, wherein the first circuitry includes one or more of: a visual camera, or an infrared camera, and wherein the visual camera or the infrared camera are installed on the blade of the wind turbine.

6. The first apparatus of claim 1, wherein the first circuitry is to reuse memory space to store the series of images or video of the object struck by the blade.

7. The first apparatus of claim 1 comprises a battery to power the first circuitry, the second circuitry, the memory, the one or more sensors, and the communication interface.

8. The first apparatus of claim 1 comprises a power supply connected with a power system in a hub of the wind turbine.

9. The first apparatus of claim 1, wherein the one or more sensors include one or more of: a 3-axis accelerometer, a piezoelectric contact microphone, gyroscope, or one or more sensors for acoustic recordings.

10. The first apparatus of claim 1, wherein the communication interface includes one of Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, 5G, or LTE.

11. The first apparatus of claim 1, wherein the one or more sensors includes a vibration sensor, which is to trigger the first circuitry to capture an image of the series of images.

14. The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of claim 12, wherein transmitting the portion of the data stream to the device is via one of Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, 5G, or LTE.

16. The method of claim 15 comprising discarding another portion of the data stream that does not indicate when the blade likely struck the object.

17. The method of claim 15, wherein the one or more sensors include one or more of: a 3-axis accelerometer, a piezoelectric contact microphone, gyroscope, one or more sensors for acoustic recordings, or a vibration sensor, which is to trigger capturing of an image of the series of images.
